Default Warning for DIYer's

Was loading bags of soil into my car at Lowes this morning and found an 18" baby copperhead in between them. Snake is now dead. Please be careful when putting landscape materials into your vehicle.

Holy smokes! Saw a story about a Texan who chopped off rattler’s head and then got bit. Almost died. Scary!

Thanks a lot for that info; I'm there occasionally buying Black Kow and other landscaping products.

You just pointed out the biggest fear of my life. Poisonous snakes. There is a very informative class or seminar in The Villages somewhere, I will have to start searching for the place and go for sure. I saw the Comcast guy crawl under our house without looking around with a flashlight or anything, he just dove in like Steve Irwin. He said I was born in the south we don't concern ourselves with such things and just laughed it off. Whoa!
